David Price, email ccx074@pglaf.org, from the 1913 Macmillan and Co. edition "Love of Life, and Other Stories" by Jack London is a collection of short stories written during the early 20th century. The opening story, titled "Love of Life," introduces readers to the harsh realities of survival against the odds, as it follows two men, Bill and another unnamed man, who are struggling in the unforgiving wilderness of the Canadian Barrens. The themes of despair, endurance, and the innate will to survive are prominently explored as the characters contend with their physical and emotional hardships. The beginning of "Love of Life" immerses us in the daunting landscape, where the two men are heavily burdened and clearly exhausted. One man, whose sprained ankle hampers him, desperately calls out to his companion Bill, who continues on without looking back. This sets up a poignant tension as he comes to realize his isolation and the overwhelming challenge of survival in an empty and desolate wilderness. We witness his internal battles against fear and despair as he fights to overcome physical pain and the gnawing hunger that threatens his existence, ultimately embodying the predominant theme of survival against both nature and human instinct in Jack London's writing.
